This Master's programme trains economists in designing, implementing, and evaluating economic projects or programmes, as well as preparing them for economic decision-making or project management. Grounded in applied economics methods, it enables decisions to be rooted in a detailed sectoral analysis of data. The knowledge and skills developed provide graduates with a high level of expertise both in public policy and decision-making (planning, development, education, environment, housing, health, transport, etc.) and in the diagnosis, forecasting and project management of private companies. Students will handle quantitative tools of economic calculus (cost-benefit, cost-effectiveness analysis), econometrics (econometrics of impact evaluation and economic decision-making or policies). They are initiated into the use of tools for Data Science and Machine Learning, acquire sector-specific knowledge (health, environment, development, etc.) and learn from professionals about practical and/or professional situations and project management.
IDEAL option is co-organised with Sciences Po Aix.
This track is a particularly good fit for students who have completed the first year of the AMSE Master’s in Economics (M1) at the Faculty of Economics and Management. Access to this second year of the master’s programme in economics (M2) is also possible for students who obtained 60 credits in other M1 in economics programmes with a strong focus on quantitative methods.
A solid training in quantitative and applied economics is required.
The Master in Economics is part of the École Universitaire de recherche (EUR) AMSE, which includes almost almost a hundred researchers from Aix-Marseille Université (AMU), Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS), Centrale Méditerranée (ECM) and Sciences Po Aix. The teachers are selected according to their expertise within those institutions. The teaching staff is supplemented with practitioners.
→ Classic track:
At the end of the academic year, students complete a long-term internship (three to six months) and write a Master’s internship report. The objective of the internship is to prove their ability to apply the conceptual tools mastered during the M2 to questions facing the profession. The student must therefore identify the question, implement the tools and be able to communicate the results to both a professional and an academic audience. The internship is supervised by both an academic tutor and an internship supervisor (from the firm or organisation). The report is defended orally in front of a jury comprised of at least the academic advisor and the internship supervisor.
→ Apprenticeship track:
Students in work-study programs doing their Master 2 under an apprenticeship contract receive guidance from both an academic and a professional advisor throughout the year, culminating in the defence of an apprenticeship dissertation.
→ Magistère Economics, Data Science and Finance option
This option provides high level training in quantitative methods and economic analysis, leads to three diplomas in three years (a bachelor’s degree, a Master’s degree and the Magistère diploma). In the first year of the Magistère the student follows specific courses + some courses of one of these bachelor's degrees from the Faculty of Economics and Management:
In the second and the third years of the Magistère, the student follows specific courses + somes courses of the Master Economics.
A semester of study abroad is an integral part of the program. Students can also spend their second year (M1) abroad as part of the double Master's degrees offered by the school.
Entry to the Magistère is selective on the basis of the student's academic grades obtained in Licence 2 or French Classes Préparatoires aux Grandes Écoles (CPGE).
→ Ideal option
This track can be completed as part of the IDEAL option (International Diplomacy, Economic Analysis and Law), which involves joint courses with the Institut d’Etudes Politiques of Aix-en-Provence (Sciences Po Aix).
Students enrolled in the IDEAL option have the opportunity to combine a three-month professional internship with a three-month university study period abroad.
